Sons de Ciutat, in autumn
Every Saturday in October and November, at 12 noon, live music takes the streets of Barcelona. Sons de Ciutat presents a new edition with jazz, funk, rumba, classical music, opera, rock, electronic and folk concerts.
Sons de Ciutat is a program of small-format concerts in the streets and squares of shopping hubs and markets in Barcelona and is divided into three concert seasons: the first in autumn, from October to November; a Christmas program, between December and January, coinciding with the holidays, and a spring program, between February and March.
Throughout the three seasons of Sons de Ciutat, almost a hundred artists bring live music to the ten districts of the city, with proposals for styles as diverse as jazz, funk, classical music, opera, rock, electronic or folk.
